Plant-Based Snack Bar Wrappers

BAR-U-EAT Compostable Bar Wrappers are BPI-Certified

— January 24, 2023 — Marketing
The BAR-U-EAT compostable bar wrappers have been officially released as an eco-friendly packaging that will help to reduce the amount of plastic waste created with every serving. The wrappers are a Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI) Certified Compostable Packaging and are capable of breaking down entirely when disposed of in commercial compost system. The wrappers won't contaminate the environment and are crafted using FSC Certified materials to further reinforce the sustainable nature of the packaging.

The BAR-U-EAT compostable bar wrappers are capable of positively having an effect on the environment by breaking down and actually adding nutrients to the soil. The packaging comes well ahead of the California SG 54 legislation that will require all packaging within the state to be third-party verified compostable or recyclable by 2032.
Trend Themes
1. Compostable Packaging - There are disruptive innovation opportunities in the packaging industry as eco-friendly and compostable packaging becomes a more desirable and necessary option.
2. Sustainable Materials - Innovation opportunities exist in the materials industry as companies strive to use sustainable, FSC Certified materials that are better for the environment.
3. Regulatory Compliance - As more states and countries create legislation regarding packaging materials, there will be opportunities for innovation in compliance solutions and alternative packaging materials.
Industry Implications
1. Food Packaging - The food packaging industry has an opportunity to innovate and meet consumer demand for sustainable and eco-friendly options with compostable packaging.
2. Food Manufacturing - Food manufacturers can innovate by partnering with eco-friendly packaging companies and incorporating sustainable materials in their product packaging.
3. Waste Management - As compostable packaging becomes more widespread, the waste management industry will need to innovate by creating commercial compost systems that can efficiently break down compostable materials.
